I love giving things away & after all the emails/comments about the VW key I thought that it was a wonderful thing to send out into the world. I love it so much as well but I have lots of keys + I love making someone's day.

This would be a dream to have. I grew up with VW's and working on them with my dad. I remember as a little girl making the long drive from the "city" to the country in my mom's yellow VW. Those black pleather seats in a 110 degree weather. I remember the pain of gently peeling my self away from the seat, and burning my hand on the metal trim while shutting the door. Memories, like the corners of my mind...One of my goals for my little company is to buy a yellow VW bus and turn into the bink & boo bus and tour around town delivering ice cream. Gosh that sounds corny, but seriously it's a goal for us.

My very bestest friend in the entire world (yes, I sound like a pre-teen), but seriously, she is all that and a cherry on top, is a VW fanatic! She even met the man of her dreams who also goes head-over-heels for anything VW! To win this and send it to her, would truly make her squeal with glee!

My late mother drove a bright orange VW beetle when she met and married my dad and even kept it for a time when we were very wee kids. She died when I was young, but I have fond memories of that car parked in our driveway like a bright orange flower. Would love to frame the key alongside a picture of my parents happy and in love in San Francisco in 1970!
